John Alexander
John Alexander is a Barbizon school artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Galleries Scotland.
John Alexander painted grand scenes from classical myths using oil paint in the early 1700s. His *The Rape of Proserpine* shows Pluto dragging the goddess into the underworld. The work follows the Baroque style, with dramatic lighting and swirling movement. Jump into this story next through the same myth in another artist’s brush, or find more Baroque drama in the gallery’s next tile.
